If a social post shows an old title or thumbnail after you changed them in Biteable, the platform cached them from the original link; the most reliable fix is to duplicate the project, republish it, and share the fresh link in a new post — re-sharing the same link often still shows the cached version.

How to fix the video title or thumbnail on social media

When you publish a video and then post a link to the video on a social media site, the social media site will usually import the title and thumbnail of the video automatically. If you don't change the title or thumbnail of your video, then everything is fine.

But if you change the title or thumbnail of your video, the change will not show up in your original social media post. This is because the social media post is static and once it imports the title and thumbnail, it doesn't go back and look for any changes.
